Bug Description
I'm not sure how to re-open a bug so this is related to https:/
The plotter support that was added is great but depends upon pySerial which the user is presently told to install manually. Installing pySerial is reasonable for expert users but for normal people it is very error prone. The correct version of pySerial needs to be installed and is causing issues for users - for example http://
pySerial is fairly small (250kb uncompressed / 65k compressed) and is cross platform (pure python, no compiled code). Including pySerial would add significant functionality (controlling plotters and vinyl cutters) to Inkscape and reduce errors for users and improve the user experience.

The solution is to copy the "serial" folder from https:/ /pypi.python. org/pypi/ pyserial/ 2.7 pyserial-2.7.tar.gz to Inkscape\python\Lib
I would include a tested patch but I am blocked by bug 1645062
